How to do it

  1. Put your feet on a bench or step and your hands on the floor, just wider than your shoulders.
  2. Brace so your body stays in a straight line from head to heels.
  3. Lower for 2 seconds until your head is just above the floor, elbows about 45° from your body.
  4. Push back up to straight arms. The higher your feet, the harder it gets.
